Pitch and weather report

Bowlers will have to be more careful as they have been taken to the cleaners in the previous encounters at Sharjah, due to the small boundaries. The team winning the toss will most likely choose to bat first to set up a massive total.

The conditions will not be too warm because of the hazy moonlight. The level of humidity, however, will be near 69%.
